I thought that IBM had replaced all of those HDAs by now.  It was my
understanding that all HDAs built in some 6 month time frame a few
years back (1983?)  were going to fail as you described.  IBM
generally won't admit to this unless you already know and confront
them with it.  At my last company, when we finally got them to admit
it, IBM brought in a loaner AD4/BD4 and a 3880, and we moved 8 volumes
a day twice a week, for them to work on 8 HDAs a week.  I think this
went on for 6 weeks.  Some of the HDAs were replaced, on others, just
the air dams with deteriorating glue were replaced.
